Until February 22, 2010, The Fine Arts Museum of Lille presents the E.Motion Graphique exhibition, which makes the link between classical drawing and international contemporary graphic art.
For this occasion, nearly 160 drawings taken from the renowned collection of the Fine Arts Museum of Lille will be shown, some of which have never been presented before to the public.
This exhibition focuses on genres and subjects found in painting such as portraits, decors, academic nudes and draperies in order to reveal the aesthetic and technical links between classical drawings and animated films.
The originality of drawings from the sixteenth to the twentieth century (such as Raphael, Watteau, David, Delacroix, Fantin-Latour, Matisse, but also anonymous artists …) will be highlighted by contemporary graphic design (such as video-clips illustrating the music of Radiohead, Antony, David Bowie, Björk…, films of graphic designers’ associations H5 Blackheart Gang, Blip Boutique, Squint Opera…) and will show what the art of the twentieth and twenty-first century owes to the act of drawing itself.
